96 - Al-Alaq

"Audhu billahi minash shaytanirrajeem"

Bismi Llaahi l-raḥmaani l-raḥeem

Iqra biismi rabbika allathee khalaqa;

READ with the Name of your Rabb (with the knowledge that comprises your being) who created.

Khalaqa alinsana min AAalaqin;

Created man from alaq (a clot of blood; genetic composition).

Iqra warabbuka alakramu;

READ! For your Rabb is Akram (most generous).

Allathee AAallama bialqalami;

Who taught (programmed the genes and the essential qualities) by the Pen.

AAallama alinsana ma lam yaAAlam;

Taught man that which he knew not.

Kalla inna alinsana layatgha;

No (it is not like what they think)! Indeed, man transgresses (pursues and indulges in his desires when he lives cocooned from his essence);

An raahu istaghna;

Because he sees himself as self-sufficient (the veil of his ego makes him think he is not in need of the reality).

Inna ila rabbika alrrujAAa;

Indeed, to your Rabb is the return!

Araayta allathee yanha;

Did you see the one who prevents,

AAabdan itha salla;

A servant at prayer!

Araayta in kana AAala alhuda;

Did you see (have a think)! What if he is living the reality?

Aw amara bialttaqwa;

Or demands protection!

Araayta in kaththaba watawalla;

Have a think! What if he denied (his essence) and turned away?

Alam yaAAlam bianna Allaha yara;

Does he not know that Allah sees?

Kalla lain lam yantahi lanasfaAAan bialnnasiyati;

No (it is not like what they think)! Indeed, if he does not desist, We will drag him by his forehead (brain)!

Nasiyatin kathibatin khatiatin;

A lying, mistaken (driven by corporeality) forehead (brain)!

FalyadAAu nadiyahu;

Then let him call his council!

SanadAAu alzzabaniyata;

And We shall call the keepers of Hell (the degenerating forces of Fire)!

Kalla la tutiAAhu waosjud waiqtarib;

No, do not! Do not obey him! Prostrate and draw near! (This is a verse of prostration.)

I seek refuge in the protective forces of the Names of Allah comprising my Essence from impulses generated by the accursed and rejected (rajim) Satan, which, as a result of preconditioning, causes our sense of illusion to perceive the existent as non-existent and the non-existent as existent, thereby making man believe he is an independent being and body outside the Names of Allah, directing man to the idea of an external deity-God in the heavens.

By the one who is denoted by the name Allah (who created my being with His Names in accord with the meaning of the letter ‘B’), the Rahman, the Rahim.
